Mark Udall to enter the CIA torture report into the Congressional Record. Sign the petition <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=gMuLFELt79plSz3197wkYET0OHzx3Uu2> Seven months after the Senate Intelligence Committee voted to publish their report on the CIA’s use torture on prisoners, the White House—acting at the behest of the CIA—is stonewalling Congress and demanding extensive redactions before making the report’s contents public. Transparency advocates say that if the CIA gets its way, the redactions would be so extensive that the report would be effectively undermined as a tool for educating the public on what the Senate Intelligence Committee uncovered about the CIA’s use of torture and how the CIA tried to cover up its crimes. *But there’s a clear path around the CIA’s obstruction—and right now we have an unusual chance to make it happen.* Members of Congress have an absolute right to free speech in their official duties under the Constitution’s “Speech and Debate Clause.” Any Member could enter the report into the Congressional Record in its entirety—just as the Pentagon Papers were in 1971—without fear of prosecution. Outgoing Senator Mark Udall (D-CO) has said that “nothing is off the table” in efforts to bring the torture report into public view. That’s why a coalition of groups, including Daily Kos, Win Without War, and Just Foreign Policy, are organizing a joint appeal to Senator Udall to finally make the CIA torture report public. *Sign our petition to Sen. Udall calling upon him to enter the torture report into the Congressional Record.* http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/act/Udall-CIA-torture-report <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=A%2Bl5shrsr%2BLmkYZFR6WCkIuISak3e%2FO4> Thanks for all you do to help hold U.S. foreign policy accountable to the rule of law, Robert Naiman and Megan Iorio Just Foreign Policy *Help us meet our November fundraising goal—make a $15 tax-deductible contribution today!* If you can afford to make a donation this month, please do! http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/donate <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=pdmDJQoLZ9U3VHBtVNSs%2BUT0OHzx3Uu2> [image: Please support our work.
